5:04 am
and billions of dollars in automatic spending cuts. but as the hours tick down, the negotiations do not appear to be heating up. in his opening remarks on the floor of the senate yesterday, democratic majority leader harry reid accused republican house speaker john boehner of running a dictatorship in the house that is blocking a deal. the speaker has called the house back on sunday leaving just 24 hours for a deal. it is becoming clear though that the solution to the standoff is not going to come solely from democrats or republicans but will require concessions on both sides. and as the senate got back to business yesterday, democratic leader harry reid voiced frustration with the republican house which is not in town. >> they don't even have enough of the leadership here to meet to talk about it. they've done it with conference calls. people are spread all over this country. >> the democratic bill is, quotes, a revenue me sure that didn't originate in the house so it has no chance whatsoever
5:05 am
of becoming law. >> reporter: if there is no deal by new year's, the bush era tax cuts will expire and everyone's taxes will go up. that could plunge the nation back into a recession. to reduce the deficit, the president wants to increase taxes on people earning $250,000 or more but he did show his willingness in negotiates with boehner to raise that number to $400,000. that, however, went nowhere. meanwhile, boehner broke with the gop. it was his so-called plan b offering to raise taxes on people earning more than a million dollars but republicans would not budge on that. they do not want any more taxes. they want to make some cuts in spending and they blame the president for pushing the nation to the brink. that is the latest here at the white house. back to you. >> thank you. what do you think about congress not reaching a deal on the fiscal cliff? do you think it is possible that i compromise will be reached before the deadline.

5:54 am
about individual success. and you and i talk about this all the time. how good does a team have to be in order to get those individual awards that we're now seeing for rg iii and lorenzo alexander who i did talk to yesterday. he said he wanted to thank everybody for being in his corner. trent williams, we know about his plight. he missed the last four games of last season with the league substance abuse policy issue. and even when you listen to trent william talk about it yesterday, it is like from where he has been to where he is going, what a difference a year makes. >> you go through the rain to get to the sunshine. the sunshine is alittle bright ore the other side of the storm clouds. it felt better after what i've been through in the past year. >> you know, having a winning record and having national attention, it is going to play a huge role in it. because people get to see our games and then i played a lot of the teams as well.
